The enriched gut commensal Faeciroseburia intestinalis contributes to the anti-metabolic disorders effects of the Ganoderma meroterpene derivative by Shanshan Qiao, Kai Wang, Chang Liu, Nan Zhou, Li Bao, Jun Wang, Shuangjiang Liu, Hongwei Liu

“…Treatment with F. intestinalis effectively enhanced the level of gut butyrate, which subsequently ameliorated the intestinal barrier function and activated epithelial PPAR-γ signaling pathway to regulate microbiome homeostasis in gut. Our study demonstrated that the causal relationship between the butyrate-producing bacteria and the GMD's therapeutic effects and confirmed the important function of the butyrate-producing F. intestinalis in maintaining host metabolism homeostasis.…”
